Abstract
The invention relates to a front axle arrangement for a heavy vehicle, e.g. a freight vehicle. The vehicle incorporates a number of wheels ( ) which bear the vehicle, and an engine unit ( ) for the vehicle's propulsion and a longitudinal chassis element ( ) which extends along the vehicle's longitudinal axis in the normal direction of forward movement of the vehicle. The front axle arrangement forms a separate front axle unit ( ) incorporating a frame structure ( ) which is intended to be connected to the longitudinal chassis element, and two of said wheels which are suspended in the frame structure. The front axle unit ( ) is intended to bear the engine unit ( ) in such a way that the latter extends in through a central aperture of the frame structure ( ) and can at least partially be extracted from the front axle unit.
